Assess Progress. Look Ahead. Shape What’s Next.
At a time of growing expectations around reconciliation, learner success, workforce development, and economic prosperity, the National Indigenous Education Symposium (NIES) offers a national forum to reflect on what is working, identify where gaps remain, and mobilize collective action for greater impact.
NIES 2026 will convene leaders and learners from colleges, institutes, CEGEPs, polytechnics, Indigenous Institutes, communities, governments, and industry from across Canada to assess progress and shape future directions in Indigenous post-secondary education.
